“You bloody liar!“ I yelled in rage."You did something to me"I was angry, but he didn't look impressed. He wanted me to try harder. One thing was certain, he wasn't going to let me go. He brought me here for a reason, but I didn't know what it was.“You can't hold me here" I snapped at him.“I already am" he shrugged. The way he acted so confident made me wonder if he wasn't concerned that I was going to try and bolt off.Speaking of bolting, that was exactly what I planned on doing. The door was wide open. If I was swift enough, I would make it out of the room. I didn't care how big the house was, I had a feeling if I was able to get past him, I was going to make it out of the house.“You must have taken me for something" I spoke slowly, trying to calculate my way out of the house.“True. You are smart after all" the moment the last statement left his lips, I bolted off. I ran out of the room into the passageway. It took me about 2 minutes of running hard to realize I wasn't being c
Kira's POV“I don't know what you are talking about. Your mother called me and I had to tell her a lie to save you from being scolded. Probably you were at Ken or Austin's house, I don't know, but if I had told your mum I didn't know, wouldn't she be worried?" She asked and I calmed down a bit. What she said made a lot of sense, but I was still skeptical. She hated being around me, why would she try to save me? “"I don't believe you and until I am certain of the reason why you told my mum that, stay the fuck away from me”She scoffed."Ungrateful bitch” She muttered under her breath before walking away, but I heard it.I rolled my eyes and tried to walk away, but a force hit me. I almost fell over, but I was able to push myself against the wall before that happened. I didn't understand what it was and how it happened, but it was too strong. I felt weak instantly, but not weak enough to pass out.I needed to find somewhere to rest because I didn't understand what was going on with my b
Kira's POVWhile we walked nothing was said. I didn't know what to say and he on the other side didn't know what to say. Xavier walked past us. He didn't say anything to Ken, but he kept staring at me, the same way Ken stared at me before. Did they know something I didn't?“Where are you taking me to?" I hastened my footsteps to meet up with Ken. He didn't say anything until we got to an empty class. Then he spoke. “Where did you go recently?" he asked, totally ignoring my question."What business do you have with that?”"You don't understand Mirabel, I have to know” he sounded urgent."I am not telling you" How else would I tell him I followed a note that led me to a vampire, without looking stupid?When he realized I was going to be my usual stubborn self, he did the most surprising thing. He removed my hair from my neck to check the skin under it.“What are you doing?" I snapped at him, moving away from him, but he held me firmly by my hand.“Where did you go, Mirabel?" his eyes s
Ken's POV.In the past 4 years, the last words I thought I would say to Austin were. “I agree" Being difficult wasn't going to do me any good. Plus I thought Marcus wasn't my problem until he did what he did to Mirabel.“Now how the fuck do you plan on bringing him down?"“He has a team, we just need our team. If he is overpowered, he will leave LA" he said and I scoffed.“You make it sound so easy" “Of course, it's not easy. He is manipulative and can maneuver his way through anything""Why is your Alpha not in support of this?“"He feels Marcus fears him too much not to go near his pack members”I chuckled. Of course, his ego always had a way of preventing him from seeing things the right way."And you think the pack member will decide to follow you when their alpha is not in support of the movement? “"They don't know he is not in support”"Your plan is risky because the moment they find out he is not in support. They will crawl to their alpha and leave you on your own. All wolve
Kira's POVKen had told me not to come anywhere close to the sitting room, but my nosey nature couldn't be tamed. Plus when someone is about to die, you can take any form of risk to get answers to your questions.I was desperate at that point. Two days felt like two hours. I was staying at Ken's house. It was only possible because I told Rebecca I would be spending some time at Christine's house.I got down the stairs stealthily when I heard the voice coming from the sitting room. They were all vampires and there was a chance I was going to get caught, but that didn't stop me.The kitchen was close to the sitting room, so I went there so I could get everything they were saying.While I listened to the conversation, I couldn't help but wonder how powerful Marcus was and why they were trying to take him down when he was the only one who could reverse what was happening to me.It didn't make any sense. Who was Frederick too and why did Ken hate him? That question was unnecessary, but I s
Kira's Pov"Mirabel we need to talk" I read the message from my phone and my heart leaped for joy. I was happy Austin finally wanted to see me, but all my ecstasy left when I realized I had to stay with Ken since he was the source of my strength.I couldn't just leave Austin like that. I wanted to see him. I couldn't even contain my happiness at the thought of seeing him.I kept thinking of the possibility of Austin also being able to do the same thing Ken did. Since he was my mate, he couldn't also be a source of strength to me and I wouldn't pass out.With that assurance, I jumped off my bed. I was supposed to be sleeping since it was late, but there was no way I would be able to sleep when I knew I could be with Austin instead.I sneaked out through the window because the last thing I wanted was for Ken to find out I was leaving the house. He was strict and at the same time overprotective. I couldn't wait for everything to be over with so I could put him in his place once and for
Kira's POVThe mumbles around me was what woke me up. The light that peered into my eyes almost gave me a headache. I finally opened my eyes and I was stunned. I was surrounded by both Austin and Ken. People I didn't think will ever be together.“Finally," Ken said. His face held relief. That was strange because of the Attitude he had been giving me.Austin on the other hand watched me closely probably to see if I was strong enough to even sit up.I felt okay like I didn't pass out a while ago. Probably because Ken was there."How long have I been out?” I asked as I stood up."Couple of hours” Austin answered. "Are you okay?”"Funny how you are asking that question. You were the one who caused this” Ken spoke up and I sighed. It was going to be another round of bickering. I didn't understand why they wouldn't just relate with each other for once."If you didn't introduce her to your vampire friends, her life wouldn't be in danger"Ken got closer to Austin and the atmosphere tensed up.
“Marcus show yourself." Ken finally spoke and my heart skipped a beat.Marcus was there with us.I was about to heave closer to Ken because of how scared I was, but before I could get to where he was, someone yanked my hair forcefully and pulled me closer. It happened faster than I could even breathe.“Let me go" He had his arm around my neck firmly from behind. I still remembered his scent. How could I forget the scent of the man who almost made me piss my pants as a result of his intense gaze?“Over here Ken," he said even though ken was already looking at us. Anger was visible in his eyes. I had never seen him as angry as that before.His grip around my neck was so tight but wasn't killing me. I wasn't fooled. The strength of a Vampire could be deceiving. I knew he could reap my head off its body if he wanted to.“Don't come any closer Ken" Marcus tightened his grip around my neck and I had to scream. “Don't... Do... Don't come. He's going to kill me" I screamed at the top of my v
